Thunderbird Problem

[ruscook]

I guess I was wrong my local machine (where I copy/archive mail to) has 
grown to "4.1G    Maildir/". This also runs dovecot for imap access. 
Rsync copies the Maildirs 1 way twice a day and every month or so I sync 
to get rid of the duplicates (which is why this maildir is more than 
twice the size of the one on the server).

Here's some sample subdir (mailbox directory) sizes
351M    Maildir/.FreeBSD
638M    Maildir/.FreeBSD-arch
319M    Maildir/.Jobs
138M    Maildir/.WindsorCycles
162M    Maildir/.Bikes
191M    Maildir/.ITNews
126M    Maildir/.ScienceMatters
300M    Maildir/.Ubuntu-2005
168M    Maildir/.Ubuntu-2006
649M    Maildir/.Ubuntu-arch
302M    Maildir/.Ubuntu

As you can see, via imap the folder size / # messages is almost irrelevant.
